‘Master’ no more; ‘primary’ now used to describe main bedrooms in homes
SHARE ON:
Starting last fall, it was replaced with ‘primary bedroom’ on REALTOR.ca.
According to the Canadian Real Estate Association, the decision was made to eliminate terminology that may have a perceivable connection to slavery.
It comes from feedback the CREA received from its members, boards, and associations across the country, and follows a recommendation made last July 20th by the Real Estate Standards Organization.
The Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) has followed suit.
Although the CREA didn’t mandate any real estate boards or associations to make a similar change on their MLS systems, VIREB decided to do so, notwithstanding.
